This is a genuine Swiss Army grey wool sweater.
Alpine Military Heritage
Originally issued in 1974 as the Schweizer Armee Wollpullover M74, Swiss soldiers nicknamed this heavy knit the "Wullesau" (wool sow) due to its toughness. It was made for alpine troops and mountain rescue teams facing freezing high-altitude conditions. This jumper was designed as a durable, insulating mid-layer that could survive years of active mountain training.
Heavyweight Thermal Build
The jumper is made from a dense interlock knit of 70% virgin wool and 30% polyamide. Blending natural wool with synthetic fibres improves friction resistance, preventing the fabric from thinning at the elbows and shoulders. The classic grey-green shade blends into outdoor settings, while the metal quarter-zip allows you to control airflow during heavy physical work.
Built for the Outdoors
For modern bushcrafters, hikers, and campers, this pullover solves the problem of unpredictable weather. The dense weave is a natural windbreaker, while the thick ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem lock in warm air. It performs much better than standard civilian knitwear, offering the rugged reliability needed for cold nights around the campfire or active winter chores.
Equip yourself with this genuine Swiss winter layer for your next cold-weather venture.
This item was used by the Swiss Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
